-Nighttime: Capital-
"P-Please don't kill me!" A young woman pleaded, as the hand around her throat tightened. Next to the woman, was the decapitated body of her boyfriend; his blood staining the road.
"Such a naughty, naughty girl. It's all your fault for walking around at such a late hour." the malevolent voice said, its owner's fingers digging into the young woman's neck. He wore a coffee color trench coat. "Didn't your parents ever warn you of the monsters that come out at night?"
"I-I'll do anything you want! Please...Please just let me live..." The woman begged, as tears freely flowed down her cheeks.
"Hoh? You'll really do anything?" The mysterious man asked, causing the young woman to rapidly nod her head. "Well, I so love to talk, why don't you entertain me?"
"W-We can talk! I'll talk with you as long as you want!" The woman exclaimed, as she felt the man's grip on her neck loosen ever so slightly.
"What's it feels like to have your head chopped off?" The man asked, earning a confused look from the young woman. "Does it hurt? Or do you feel absolutely nothing?"
In the blink of an eye, a large blade extended from the man's arm and sliced clean through the woman's neck. The woman didn't even feel the blade hit her skin, before her lifeless body fell to the ground.
"I guess you really don't feel anything." With a twisted smile the man dropped the woman's decapitated head. "Mmmm, how utterly delightful! I just can't help myself!"
-A few days later, morning: Night Raid Headquarter-
The sun's ray land on his eyes, making him squint as he opens them up. Emerl had woken from his slumber, he wanted to rub his eyes, but his hand felt that it was under some weight. Opening his right eye, he saw Akame sleeping in his bed, lying on top of one of his arms, his other arm was wrapped around her waist; hugging her close to his body. The young man's entire face burned bright red when Akame suddenly snuggled closer to him.
He almost yelped in surprised before remembering what happened yesterday. He lets out a deep sigh before slowly ruffling her hair, still blushing.
('Right, almost forgot again…. Akame and me confess to each other….') he thought. ('I'll be honest, I never saw myself with a girlfriend….. Is almost like a dream…')
"Good morning Emerl," Akame with a tired voice says.
"Morning Akame," Emerl replies back at her.
Their eyes lock with each other before she gives him a morning kiss, in which he returns.
"Thanks for letting me sleep with you again." she says.
"No problem, you're welcome any time you want." he says, "It…. felt nice to sleep with someone close like this." he says with a slight blush.
"I'm glad to hear that," she says with a smile as she got up from the bed. "I'll be doing that from now on. Come, let's begin breakfast."
Emerl got up from his bed as well, he picks his shirt and puts in on before following Akame out of the room as they start to walk on the hallway.
"Ara, Ara, Ara! What do we have here?"
They both stop walking when two arms wrap themselves around their shoulders, and they were trapped in a hug. "Why was innocent Akame on little Emi's room?"
The two young assassins quickly blush as Leone appears, having a sly smirk on her face.
"Sis! A-Akame just….came to get me for breakfast!" he says desperately.
"Yes, nothing happened." Akame says with her monotone voice.
"Uhu…..Not~thing happened, huh?~" she says, hugging Emerl close to her chest, in which cause the blood eye assassin to twitch a little. "Anyway, Boss wants to meet with us, so come on." she says, grabbing the two of them as she walks away.
"Uh, Sis? We can walk you know." the black haired says, but was ignored.
-Meeting Room-
Five minutes have passed, and everyone was in front of the silver haired. "We have a new target." she begins to explain, "Is the rumored serial killer who's been terrorizing the capital. He only appears at night and beheads his victims. We don't know how many he has killed, but by our count, is over forty by now."
"There's no doubt about it….. Is Zanku the Executioner." Lubbock said, causing Tatsumi to raise an eyebrow.
"Zanku….the Executioner? Who's that?" he asks.
Mine scoff out, "You don't know about Zanku? You really are a country bumpkin." she says with annoyance.
"Uhm, I don't know either." Sheele says, catching the pink haired attention.
"You just forgot," she just tells her.
"So, who is he?" Tatsumi ask with irritation.
"...Zanku the Executioner, he was once an executioner on the capitals prison…. Because of the Prime Minister, he got to behead a lot of people, every single day, at one point, beheading became his second nature." Mine says.
"Holy crap…." Tatsumi breath out, having the chills as Emerl took over.
"Beheading from jail wasn't enough, so he escaped and started to behead on the streets." the black haired says.
"A team was sent to dispatch him, but he simply disappeared after that," Bulat chimed in, "But, I never imagined him showing up here."
"So he's a dangerous psychopath." Tatsumi says as he tightly clenches his fist. "Then let's hunt him down!"
"Slow your horse Tatsumi." Bulat says as he ruffles the brunette's hair. "Zanku stole a teigu that belonged to the prison's head. And with him on the loose on the streets," Tatsumi's face turn shades of red when Bulat cupped his chin, "Is best that we go in teams…. or we could be in trouble."
('I feel trouble right now, and it's not a good one.') the brunette thought as Bulat's eyes glitter.
"Bulat's right, is best to hunt him down on group, so pick a partner to go with." The boss says.
In a quick moment, Leone hug Emerl from behind, surprising him, "I pick Emerl to be my partner!"
Akame twitch at this, Sheele pouts, and Mine's looks at her in annoyance for some reason. Leone saw this and gives a victory smirk.
('Yep, that's right, I'm going to team up with the big boy here!') she thought.
"Alright, Leone and Emerl can be a team. Once you're out there, pick a place to look for anything suspicious." she says as everybody nods at her. "Good, once you're ready, get out there and hunt him down."
"Yes boss!"
-Later that night-
Akame and Tatsumi pair up, the latter was looking on her map, "Looks like this is our division," she says as Tatsumi looks at the map over her shoulder, "we have the second largest section, we must be very thorough."
"Is a good thing civilians are inside their houses," the brunette comments while looking at the houses, "It should make things-" he stop talking when suddenly, Akame covers his mouth and hide themselves behind an alley wall. Just then, several imperial soldiers pass through, and when she peeks out again; the cost was clear.
"The guards are more active now, we have to be careful," she tells the brunette as they started to move again.
"Hey Akame, there's something I've been meaning to ask about," he says to the raven girl.
"Don't worry," she gives him the thumbs up, "I pack enough snacks to eat."
"I'm not Emerl, and that's not what I want to ask." he says with deadpan face. "I just wonder…..what's a Teigu?"
"Huh? You don't know what a teigu is?"
Leone ask in surprise, Emerl has just asked the same question Tatsumi had made to Akame right now. They were walking on their divisions.
"Well," the black haired scratches his hair, "I have been hearing this for a while, I got curious?"
"...Well, I don't know much about the history," the busty blond says, "but teigus are weapons that were forged for the first emperor. They can never be forged again." she explains, as she points at her lion belt. "Each teigu is super powerful, some can grant special abilities like enhanced strength or manipulate objects."
Emerl whistle at that, "So all of you guys, at side me and Tatsumi, have teigus?"
"You got it sweetie!" she says, "My teigu is King of Beast Transformation: Lionel, it transforms me into a beast, and it increases my strength and other physical abilities. Plus, it also strengthened my sense of smell, which makes me an excellent scout!" Leone says with pride.
"Wow…. That's awesome!" Emerl says with stars on his eyes.
"My Teigu is One Slice Kill: Murasame, anyone who gets nick by it will installing die by the poison on it." Akame says.
"Except for Emerl." Tatsumi side comment.
At hearing his name, Akame drops down her head, a small blush and a small smile appearing on her face. "Yes….except Emerl…" she whispered.
"So, what are the others teigu?" she was brought back to reality by the brunette's voice.
"Right…. Mine's teigu is really well acquainted, Roman Battery: Pumpkin. The more danger she's in, the more powerful her shots are."
"So that's why she says she is better when she's in a pinch." Tatsumi comment.
"Bulat's teigu is Demon Armor: Incursio. While it puts a heavy burden, it grants the user an almost unbreakable defenses."
"Yeah…. Bro's armor is awesome." Tatsumi comment in there.
"Let's see….Sheele's teigu is Slice them All: Extase. Basically, it can cut any kind of defense and is very sturdy, perfect for defense." Leone explain the scissors teigu.
"So not even the strongest metal can't stop it?" Emerl ask.
"Yep, and finally, is Lubba teigu, Kaleidoscopic: Crosstail. Is a durable thread teigu that can be used to entangle enemies in traps, or it can be spread out to sense intruders."
"So that's how Lubbock detect the mercenaries." Emerl understood now the teigus.
"Yep, that's all you need to know about teigus," she says before sitting on a bench, "Actually, there's something important you need to know about my teigu."
Emerl takes a sit while looking at her, "What is it?"
"Well, my teigu has made me do some…. weird things," she puts her arms on her back while blushing.
The black haired a chill running through his spine, "What...things?" he asks, almost like he dug himself a grave.
She takes a deep breath in before speaking, "One time, I was taking a bath on the outside, I got bored. Then, I saw a tree next me, and before I knew it, I started to clawing on it."
Emerl look at her in surprise, "You were clawing on it?"
She nods, "Yeah, I guess you could say that subconsciously marking territory."
Emerl puts a hand on his chin, "So, you mean that Lionel make you have animal-like tendencies?"
"Yep….that's it."
"Okay…. and why are you telling me this?"
"...Remember when you bite me while training?"
At that moment, Emerl stood up and was prepared to run away, but Leone grab him by the jacket, "Before you start killing me, in my defense, it was not intentional!" the black haired says, knowing that he has nowhere to run now.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you sweetie." she says, wrapping him on a hug from behind, "There's no way I would hurt you now."
Emerl became confused after hearing that and the hug, ('OK, this is weird, ever since the battle with Newgate, Sis has been getting more clingy to me.') "Then….. what about that bite, which I say I'm sorry now."
Leone blush while hugging him, "Well…. consider what Lionel does to me…. You made me your mate when you bite me."
"...What?" his eyes widened.
"When you did that, I can't stop thinking about you…. My animal instincts are telling me to fulfill the mark and mate with you." she finish saying.
Emerl immediately became flustered, "Shit….I'm so sorry Leone!" he says, "It was never my intention to do that to you!"
She then pressed his face even further inside her tits, "Don't be Emi, after all this time we spent together….. I don't mind becoming your mate." she removes Emerl from her breast cups his face, "I already fall for you."
"W-What?!" Emerl breath out in shock. He then widened when Leone close herself for a kiss. The black haired quickly separate from her, "W-Wait Sis! We can't be doing this now!"
The busty blond raised an eyebrow, "Why? Am I not good enough for you?"
"Don't say that! You're the most gorgeous, hottest, sexiest girl I have ever seen!" he bluntly blurts out, causing her to blush a dark shade of red, "B-But…! W-We are hunting Zanku! And-and-and….I..." he started to turn red, not knowing how to explain about him and Akame.
"You and Akame are dating." she says, causing him twitch in surprise, "Is that the problem?"
Emerl blush even more, "...Y-yeah…." he admits in defeat.
Leone sighs, but not in disappointment, she just cups his head and before he knew it, she nibbled his ear. Causing the poor boy to become embarrassed and flustered even more, which only make the blond to tease him even more.
"Don't worry about it, Akame and I are best buds, I don't think she'll mind to share with me." she says with a smile as Emerl jaw meet the floor while looking at her in confusion. "Hehe, that reaction is so good." she wraps him a hug again.
"S-Sis, c-can we at least talk about this on the base please?" Emerl was super embarrassed as he felt her two melons. Hey, he is a boy if you know what I mean.
"Fine...but don't expect to weasel out of this," she says with a smirk, as she plants a kiss on his cheek. "Come on, let's continue looking for that asshole!" she says, back to her happy self.
Emerl, still a blushing mess, just release a sigh, what the fuck just happened?!
"I'll tell you what! You just got a hot babe fall for you!" the voice says again.
('Not now.')
...
..
.
(Meanwhile)
Standing on top of a clock tower, a lone figure surveyed the area surrounding him. The figure was none other than Zanku the Executioner. The outlaw had a twisted smile, as he looks around the area.
"Mmm, first the killer, now the assassins…. This is so exciting!" he says with delight as the third eye on his forehead locks on four targets, "Now then, who should I kill first?"
"The blond lion? The red assassin? The kid on green?...Ah yes!" he chuckles like a mad man as he locks on a brunette boy, "Let's go with the tastiest morsel first!"
…
..
.
After a while, Tatsumi and Akame were sitting on a bench, the latter drinking a soda while the other eating a bar of candy.
"*Sigh* I should have know it wouldn't be easy," Tatsumi says, "He's really good at hiding."
"We just have to wait," Akame says, eating her candy, "Keep your guard up."
At that moment, Tatsumi felt an urge, "Uh….I'll be back." he stands up from the bench.
"Nature calls?" the raven girl ask, causing the brunette to twitch.
"God, is cold out here." Emerl spoke up, he went to take a leak when Nature call him. While doing that, he spoke to the voice.
('Hey, now that I know what's a teigu, what yours?')
"Mine? Champ, I was created inside you, I don't have one yet."
('...Then, do you want one?')
"Heck Yeah! I want something that would strike fear when they see our armor!"
('You sound like little kid right now.') Emerl chuckles.
"Can't blame me, I just got here a few days ago…..So, any idea of a name?"
('Hmmm…..Well, you said you're a curse, right?')
"Right! Born with the poison of Murasame!"
('I was thinking….. how about Cursed Armor: Rapture?')
"Rapture…..Why?"
('Well, you were created with Murasame poison going around my body, and is almost impossible to be cured from it…. And a Rapture is like a DNA that can alter the body for special powers…. See where I'm going?')
"Yes, I am a cursed, and I have an armor that grants special powers….. I love it!"
('Then…..Let's change the world, Rapture?')
"You got it Champ! We are going to send this assholes to hell!" says the now name Rapture, before a chill run through Emerl's spine.
"What the-?!"
"Champ!" Rapture spoke up, "We have trouble!"
"Huh?!"
"Is your brunette friend, his fighting Zanku!" Emerl eyes widened.
('What?! Where is Akame?!') he asks desperate.
"Looks like the douche manage to separate them."
('Dammit! Where is he?!')
"Here, follow your gut!"
At that moment, Emerl felt something, it was telling him in which direction he must go. ('This way?...Sorry Sis, but Tatsumi needs me now!') he began to run into an alleyway.
Tatsumi was doing the best he could, he was covered in cuts and blood and breathing heavily. In front of him was none other than Zanku, a twisted smile on his face. Tatsumi got separated from Akame when he saw none other than Sayo. He was shocked, he started to follow her all the way into a clear area on the capital. When he got to her, he was happy to see that she was alive and hug her, but then, she turned into the oldest ugliest old man you have ever seen. Tatsumi took out his sword and started to attack, but Zanku teigu lets him predict any attacks by several ways, like reading the mind.
"So much fun! I have never had a target this hard to kill, I'm so happy!" the serial killer says with delight, "I wonder what kind of face will you make when I kill you?" he says as he crosses his two blades.
"Don't fuck with me!" Tatsumi shout, pointing his sword at him, "My neck isn't one that can be cut so easily!"
Zanku and Tatsumi went to attack and just when they were about to attack-
*Bang!*
They both immediately stop when a bullet hit right on the middle of them, looking up, they saw a shadow jumping above them before it lands next to Tatsumi.
"Emerl!" the brunette shout in surprise and joy.
"Sorry I'm late," the black haired says, "It took a while to find you." he points his guns at Zanku.
"How did you find me?"
"Gut feeling."
Tatsumi stood silent before nodding, "Anyway, glad you're here, this guy's strong."
Zanku chuckles, "To think I would get to hear two in one day! How delightful!" he laughs out.
Emerl quickly went to attack, shooting bullets out of his guns, but Zanku block them with his swords, the boy went for a punch to side, but Zanku dodge it. After throwing some punches, Zank went for a cut to the chest.
Emerl quickly moves backward as the blade swings almost on his stomach, follow by an upper slash that cut in half his shirt as he somersault away. He aims again and shoots two bullets, but the blond killer block them as well.
"Dammit! What's wrong with this guy, is like he can read my movements!" the black haired shouts as he stops next to Tatsumi.
"Be careful with that third eye on his head, is actually teigu!" Tatsumi went to attack.
('Rapture!') he asks for his teigu as he went to attack with Tatsumi.
"This guy's teigu is 'See it all: Spector', it grants the user great view of everything and it can read minds of others, careful Champ, this will be a tricky one."
The continue to attack as Zanku kept dodging or blocking them. After some minutes, Zanku was now taking several swipes at Tatsumi who, was having a hard time dodging. Tatsumi had several cuts on his arms and sides. Emerl went to attack, but Zanku managed to dodge him and cut in on the side.
"Hehehe, I like you two, I think I'll put you two on my collection of heads!" Tatsumi goes down to his knees as Emerl still aimed at him. "I think I'll start with you." he points at Emerl.
"Give your best shot prick." Emerl went in, as Zanku raised his blades to block a kick, in which Emerl aim right between them and shot, surprising the killer as he quickly moves his head away. Emerl lands back on the ground still aiming at him.
Zanku touches his cheek, the bullet scratched him a bit as blood drips out. "Tch! You're a dangerous one to be able to do this….I'll just have to use it!" Suddenly, the eye on his forehead opens. At that moment, Emerl eyes widened more open than ever.
Replacing Zanku was a small girl, somewhere around five years old, wearing a small red shirt and blue skirt, her hair flowing on the wind as she gives a sweet smile.
Tatsumi saw what was happening, "Emerl, don't! Is just an illusion, they aren't real!" he shouts at him, but the black haired didn't move one bit.
"Yes…. Illusion sight, an ability that lets my victims see the person they love the most….." Zanku commenced, to run forward, "Watch as the person in front of you-"
Before he could continue however, a sword impaled in front of them, causing it to break the illusion. Zanku look up to see Akame in the sky before landing and picking her sword from the ground.
"I made it in time," she says as she points her blade at Zanku, "Looks like you two managed to piss him off."
"Akame!" Tatsumi shout, glad to see her here.
"Tatsumi, Emerl, I'm glad I found you two." she says as she smiles at them. However, her eyes and voice turn dark when she saw the cuts on Tatsumi, and the anger of Emerl. The red assassin tight her grip of her sword, and walks next to her boyfriend, "Emerl…."
The black haired glares up as his tattoo glows, "I'm okay….. But, this asshole just cross the line." he tells her.
Akame stood silent, but then, she felt power increasing on Murasame, she looks down at the sword for moment before glaring at Zanku as well. "Tatsumi, hold on for sec….I'll patch you up when I kill this guy."
"No," Emerl quickly stand next her, "when WE kill this guy." he says.
"...Can you keep up?" Akame ask.
"I nearly use my power." he reloads his guns.
With a nod, Akame and Emerl prepared themselves as the blond killer puts a twisted smile.
"Ah, the infamous Akame and her demon blade Murasame. I've wanted to meet you for some time now," Zanku said, flashing Akame a twisted smirk. "You and the green boy looked so cute together, it makes me want to cry."
"Don't worry about it, when we finish with you, you will be crying tears of blood!" Emerl shouts at him, sprinting at him faster than ever.
He appears right in front of Zanku, surprising him the killer as he could only block a punch with his blades that send him into a wall.
Zanku had widened eyes, ('The fuck?! When did he become so fast?!') he stands up.
"Akame! Be careful with him! That eye on his head can read one's mind and movements and apparently can create illusions." Emerl says to her.
"Understood," Akame close her eyes and takes a deep breath, then she opens her eyes up "Then all I need to do is be much faster than him." she sprint at the killer and seconds later, the two of them, Akame and Zanku, clashed blades. Sparks flew as Zanku's arm blades and Akame's Murasame grind against each other.
Zanku was surprised to see that the red eye assassin was stronger than she looks as he was pushed back against the wall. Follow by a punch that impact on the face from Emerl that jump from behind Akame. Making the wall break as the killer pass through.
('Dammit! I didn't expect that they were this skillful…. However, it doesn't matter, as long I have Specter this match is mine!') he dodges a slice from Akame and a punch from Emerl.
From the sideline, Tatsumi watches in awe, resting on the floor, as Akame clash her blade with Zanku's, and Emerl managed to hit Zanku. Akame was almost a blur that it was impossible to follow and Emerl isn't giving Zanku any time to regrouped.
"So….this is a clash of teigus…..and Emerl is just keeping up like if it was nothing, and he doesn't have a teigu yet…." Tatsumi clench his fist, "I….still have a long way to catch up to them."
Emerl jump away from him as Akame rushed forward again. She tried to hit Zanku with a powerful overhead slash. But, the executioner predicted the move, and easily blocked the attack. However, again Zanku underestimated Akame's strength. The executioner grunted as the force from Akame's attack pushed him downwards; causing the ground underneath him to crack. Zanku's twisted smirk returned when he saw an opening. Acting quickly, Zanku slashed at Akame with his dual blades. Akame jumped back just in time, and seemed to be unscathed, however, moments later Akame hissed in pain, as blood began run down her arm.
Emerl eyes widened and quickly rips a piece off his shattered shirt and wraps it around the wound.
('Akame….actually got hit?') Tatsumi thought, staring at Akame's patch up arm with wide eyes. ('I never thought I'd see that.')
"That sword of yours and your partner are just simply unfair." Zanku says, as he pointed one of his blades at them. "One little cut, and it's all over for me, specially when you have support."
"Says the psycho who reads minds, and movements," Emerl says as Akame clutches her wound with the fabric, "Yeah, great lecture there Einstein."
"Oho, sarcastic, first hint of fear." he was answered by a gunshot that he blocked, "Are you afraid that I will kill you?"
Akame immediately stood in front of Emerl, "You will have to go through me first bastard." she growls, her blood red eyes narrowing at Zanku.
"Oho! How cute! Defending your cute boyfriend?" Zanku laughs maniacally, "Don't worry, when I behead you two, I've put your heads together, so that way you will always be together!"
Akame stand on her defensive pose, "Emerl," she calls the black haired, "Go help Tatsumi up, I'll hold him up."
Emerl stood silent for a few moments before speaking, "Don't give him a minute to talk more, his giving me a headache." he says walking away from her.
"Oho? Now this is fair," Zanku says, "Before we begin, I want to ask you something….. How do you deal with the voices?" he asked, causing Akame to quirk an eyebrow in confusion.
"Oh come on now, I know you hear them as well...especially when it's quiet and lonely. The shrill screams of all those I've killed...rising up from the deepest, darkest pits of hell. HAHAHA! They hate me so much….and they keep pleading me to join them all in hell!" he shouts.
Emerl, who was helping Tatsumi up, Tatsumi and Akame just thought the same thing, ('He's fucking crazy.')
"I started hearing them after I became executioner at the prison." Zanku explained with a twisted smile on his face. "But, it's gotten really bad these days. I try my hardest to drone them out by talking over them. However, I'm just curious as to how you manage-"
"I don't hear them." Akame says, causing Zanku's eyes to widen. "I don't know what you're talking about. I hear no voices."
"What?" The executioner grits his teeth.
"You hear her," Emerl says, Tatsumi being supported by his arm, "What made you think we're the same? You kill for fun, we kill for peace."
"Yeah!" Tatsumi shout at him, "We don't kill for pleasure like you!"
Zanku shakes in anger, "And here I figured someone who'd killed as much as you...would be able to share my burden..." Zanku's creepy grin returned, when the eye on his head opened once again. "It's truly tragic!"
Akame's eyes turn into plates, appearing in Zanku's place was a young girl, wearing a black sailor clothes and a red skirt, she had short black haired. She shows a happy smile at her.
"K….Kurome?" Akame breath out.
"Akame!" Emerl shout at her.
"Akame! Don't believe on it, is an illusion!" Tatsumi shout, causing him to almost fall down.
"You're wasting your breath, boys," Zanku said, as his blades extended from his arms. "My illusions may only work on one person at a time, but the effects are absolute...no matter how skilled or disciplined the person may be...there's no way they'll attack someone they love...Now..." Zanku, disguised as Kurome, raised his blade to attack Akame. "Die at the hands of the one you love, Akame!" he shouts as he runs forward to Akame.
*Thunph!*
Emerl suddenly felt a pain like no other before, his eyes turn into plates, ('W-what the-?!')
"Champ! I feel it." time got slow, "I'm feeling something strong coming out!"
('W-what is this, I feel like I'm dying at the same time getting more stronger!') Emerl shout inside.
"I'll tell you what that is, your power is rising via emotion!"
('Huh?!')!"
"Akame is now important to you!" Rapture shout, "I'll give the details later. For now, get ready!"
Tatsumi felt his friend shaking and looks at him. "Emerl?
"Tatsumi, can you stand for bit?" the black haired ask, confusing the brunette before nodding, "Good" the marks glow again. "My Rapture is rising." He says before disappearing in a flash, surprising Tatsumi as he quickly regains his balance.
Just as Zanku got close, Akame raised her sword and slashed at Kurome; dispelling the illusion placed upon her. The killer blocks the attack as he passes by Akame, his eyes widened in shock at what happened.
('She….didn't hold back?!') "What the hell?! You were supposed to see the person you love the most!" he shouts in desperation.
The red assassin just give him hard gaze, "The person I love the most….. I want to grant them eternal rest."
Zanku felt a chill down his spine when he heard those words. "This fight is over." Suddenly, Zanku's blade started to break.
Before he could do anything, he felt pain on his back. Emerl had appeared behind him and had place a well know kick on the spine, causing to bend back, a cracking sound came from there. The black haired quickly grab the back and started to spin around before sending the killer up into the sky.
Emerl looks at Akame and places his hands together. The red assassin understood the idea as she runs forward at him, she jumps on his hands as Emerl use all the power on him to send Akame flying upwards like a bullet. As Zanku comes back from the air, he could only watch as the red blood assassin got close to him.
"Rest in pieces." she says once she was close to him.
*Slash*
Akame slashes her blade on Zanku, causing the executioner to cough out blood as the poison goes through his body, all the way into his dark heart. "Now you won't be hearing the voices anymore." she says.
Zanku's ears couldn't hear anything….No…. He couldn't hear the voices anymore, ('The voice….they're gone!') the psychopath did one last smile, "How….delightful…. Thank you….Akame."
The following moment, his body crash on the ground with a hard 'thud'.
Akame free falls down as Emerl catches her bridal-style, "Welcome back to earth." he says with a smirk. "How was your trip?"
Akame close her eyes as she makes a small smile, "Satisfying."
"Glad to know that." he places her down, "Now if you excuse me, I have a friend to help."
"Same here." she says.
Walking up to Tatsumi, who was resting against a wall, they saw the brunette blinking a lot, looking at them.
"Something wrong?" Emerl ask as he wraps his arm on the brunette's shoulder.
Tatsumi shakes his head, "Nope! Nothing at all!" he says, but in his mind was, ('Damn! They team up so well in there, I almost thought they were a thing!')
Akame watches them for a bit before something came to her head, "Emerl, weren't you with Leone?"
The black haired eyes turn pale, "...Shit, I completely forgot about her."
…
..
.
(Somewhere else on the Capital)
"Emerl…. How dare you leave your mate like this?!" a lion roar in anger with red eyes, "From this one you aren't going to be saved!"
-Night Raid's Headquarters-
A few days have past since the execution of Zanku, everybody was doing their own things, having a day off. Tatsumi and Emerl were on the cliff were Tatsumi's friend were. The latter was praying while the other rest himself against the tree.
In a moment, something land on the head of Emerl, picking it up an apron. He looks at the direction it came from and saw Akame. "Hey Akame."
She smiles at him, "Hey," she walks next to him, "Its almost time for dinner."
Emerl nods, "Tatsumi is still praying, let him rest." he says as he started to walk away.
Akame quickly walk next to him, thinking something that was bothering her, "Emerl, can I ask you something?" the black haired hums at what she wants to know, "Zanku did the illusion to you as well."
Emerl stop walking, "...Who did you saw?" she asks.
The black haired didn't speak immediately, he looks at her, "I saw…. The first reason I must stay alive…."
The red assassin kept quiet before nodding in understating. "I understand…"
"And you?" Emerl ask her, "Who did you saw?" Akame stood silent for a while.
She looks at him, "I'll tell when I'm ready….." she smiles at him, "All you need to know, is that everyone on Night Raid are important to me….. Including you."
Emerl blush at her, but not in embarrassment, "I know….. Just like you are to me." he pulls her for a heartwarming hug, in which she returned gladly.
He suddenly picks her up bridal style, making her blush "Now, let's go make dinner!" he speed off, Akame smiling.

What a day of an assassin.
